In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.

In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners determine whether thermal energy can be used for work.

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to construct a balloon-powered pinwheel. The pinwheel is a great way to investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.
